TLDR
A marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping are notable.Abstract:
The American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union for Cancer Control update the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) cancer staging system periodically. The most recent revision is the 7th edition, effective for cancers diagnosed on or after January 1, 2010. This editorial summarizes the background of the current revision and outlines the major issues revised. Most notable are the marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping. The future of cancer staging lies in the use of enhanced registry data standards to support personalization of cancer care through cancer outcome prediction models and nomograms.read more

TL;DR: Intra-tumoral budding in pre-treatment rectal cancer biopsies with pathological response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and with long-term outcome is correlated with lower disease-free 5-year survival rate and cancer-specific death.

TL;DR: Radiomic features could predict local recurrence of LACC better than SUVmax, and a model designed using data from one PET scanner to another was proposed.

Surgical versus medical treatment of ocular surface squamous neoplasia: a comparison of recurrences and complications.
TL;DR: No difference in the recurrence rate of OSSN was found between surgical versus IFNα2b therapy and the side effects of the 2 treatments were similar, with mild discomfort seen in the majority of patients in both groups.
